"I'm responsible for managing and configuring, designing and supporting the systems that our applications, our communication, all of our company's technology systems run on. So it's all kind of behind the scenes. I guess I describe it as, if it plugs into the wall or if it's wireless and it communicates, then we somehow are responsible for that."
